What about when GTA series got famous; Yeah there was controversy but people just slapped the "MA" rating and called it a day, because violence is natural.

But something like Rapelay or Battle Raper came out the WORLD got engaged in collective white knighting to stop the distribution of these games because "we must protect the wimmenz". From sexual violence only. Running blowing them up or beheading them like in GTA or Mortal Kombat is OK of course.

Hell GTA:SA's "hot coffee" scene drew more shit from mommy groups than the extreme violence

Nobody would have cared, Doom was still like 5 years away so governments didn't give a fuck.

And nobody took games seriously back then, you mentioned you played video games and you'd get a "huh.." from most adults.

And this kinda stuff only happened on personal computers anyway, and personal computers (that means C64,ST,Amiga) were not moderated like Nintendo did with its stuff.

It was very much a wild west feel, two guys in a flat could make a game about a famous movie and suddenly they'd be a company.

And nobody would care if they'd put a gory pixely movie shot in the middle of a game.
the only people who'd care were the kids, that was the stuff that was discussed on the playgrounds.

Sure you had a couple early soccer moms who'd write a letter, but nobody took home computers seriously.

this gaming thing would never take off anyway!

No he means how could someone call himself an "old school" gook killer, when Vietnam was most likely his first time killing said "gooks".

He would have had to have killed "gooks" before.

So yeah, an American who first fought in Korea and then later in Vietnam would classify as such.

Are you purposely this ignorant or did you happen to miss all the huge video game violence controversies just to claim that thatvsexual violence was the only thing games ever get criticized about?
